Standard is 25–30% of estimated spend on booking, rising to 40–50% for highly sought dates. Final numbers & balances are typically due 14 days in advance.

How far in advance should I book for 100-seat dining?

Book 12–16 weeks ahead for peak days (Wed/Thurs), or 8–12 weeks for quieter slots (Mon/Tue). Secure menus and AV slots at least 6 weeks before to finalise dietary requirements and tech tests.
